They say: "Nesessity is the mother of all invention"... If so, then coincidence is it's father... and boredom it's brother...
For instance, I was quite bored at work, having finnished what I had to do that day... and because of boredom, I invented a game... You could take earplugs, stick one in your nose, close the otherside and then see how far you could shoot it... Ingenius...!
But then the coincidence came... It so happens that it tickles quite much having an earplug up your nose, unlike what I expected... and the tickle started to produce a sneeze... and we all know a sneeze travels at 150 km/hour (exept for people who surpress it (shame on you!))... and a sneeze hits equally both nostrils... soooooo...
Eurika (means: "Hand me a tissue")... You can shoot two earplugs 50% faster then the legal highway speedlimit...!
Now tell me this isn't a brilliant invention...!

The weekend after this one, my shift at work will go on an outing together... The plans were to go whale watching and then to the Blue Lagoon... But since we've all seen so many whales (and eaten) we decided we needed more action... so we scrapped the whale watching and are going for Paintball... well actually Pain(t)ball, because those suckers really sting...
But wouldn't it have been cool to mix in the paintball with the whale watching... then we could have three teams...
Team one would be the whale hunters on a big boat, and instead of harpoons, we would shoot the whales with mops that had been dipped in paint...
Team two would be Greenpeace on small boats shotting us and waving flags...
Team three would be the whales who could spray us from there blowholes and capsize the Greenpeace boats (I mean who can stand those vegetarians (Hitler was a vegetarian!))...
P.S. I know being in Greenpeace doesn't automatically make someone a vegitarian... But it's equally as much a pain to invite them to dinner...

Here is an overview of an interesting news story from Iceland:
A construction crew started having alot of trouble some weeks ago. Suddeny the cranes didn't work in the morning and had to be fixed daily. Other machinery started stalling or malfunctioning with no explanation. Then the people started to have bad luck themselves... Workers fell into pits or trapfalls or knocked there heads on beams or other stuff...
Then someone noticed a large boulder by the site had been disturbed... Some bulldozer had driven into it and shifted it abit... Then they knew what the problem was... Elves...
The called the head engineer and he came down to the site and sat by the boulder.... He started talking outload to the boulder for a while... He appoligized friendly and politly for any disturbance, promised they would be more careful and then asked if they could be shown a bit of patience while they finished...
After that no machinery broke down and no more accidents happened... everything was O.K. and they managed to finnish without any more trouble...
Neat newsstory huh...? and it's all true... and this is of course not the first time something like this has happened... That's why you find so few straight roads in Iceland... The crew has to work around certain areas so not to disturb the elves or "hidden folk" as they are called...

A typical wedding event is for the groom to remove the brides garter (I think it's spelled like that) and then toss it to the single men... The one that catches it will be the next one married...
Well... Lucky me...

OK... I don't like the looks of this latest development... Besides not being able to make up new material in my screenplay because of writersblock, it now seems it's affecting other creative areas...
I'm used to having really original and interesting dreams at nights (or any time I sleep actually (and sometimes while I'm awake))... Then today I woke up a bit confused over the night... Then I realized... This last dream was a "remake"...
I had the exact (EXACT) same dream a few days ago, exept now they just "remade" it with new actors (I kid you not!)... Everything else was exactly the same... The location, plot and dialoge...
Remakes are usually better or worse (most often worse) but the was exactly the same... There was no trying to hide the fact that this was the same dream...
I mean, not being able to make a new dream...! How bad is that...!?! It's at least a new nightmare for me...

Busy week...! Besides working 6 shifts in 5 days (nights, evenings and mornings) I have stuff to do for my brothers wedding which is next Saturday... First I got to edit some material from his nad hers bachelor/bachelorette parties... then I got to get together some slide shows for people with speaches... then I have to set up (with my family) the whole dining area and seating for 130 people... then I have to write my own speach... all starting tomorrow evening since today I work til midnight and tomorrow (and Friday) are dayshifts...
... I think it all should go well... unless my writers blok will flare up again during my speach writing...
Congradulations to... um... my... ... brother (that should work)... and... his... um... ladythingy... *dang!*
Maybe I'll just end up buying a speach off www.mybrotherisgettingmarried.com

Man, what a terrible oder that came from a guy on the way to work today... He deffinetly had a morning swim in some after shave...
The strength of after shave on other people can be measured in how many ways you sence it...
1. You smell it...
2. You taste it because it's so thick in the air...
3. You feel it, especially in your eyes which burn...
4. You see it as the fumes float in the air...
5. You hear it as it's evaporating...
This guy in front of me was even worse then the fifth case here... He was beyong what I though was possible... You could sence it with your sixth sence (like from the movie with the same name)...
"I see smelly people"...

I have these last weeks at home developed a bad case of "photo diaria"... Basicly every time I go somewhere remotly interesting I take a digital camera along and take pictures of everything (usually two or more), especially if I think it's something to show people overseas...
So now I have to go through them, resize and upload so you can go look at them and say... "boring"...

Good fishing trip... Didn't catch a thing though... In total we got three trouts (small, smaller, in danger of being eaten by the bait)... Because I'm soooo undlucky when it comes to fishing... Not only do I never catch one, but the people around me don't either... To fish something while traveling with me you must go to some other part of the river where I am not and convince the fish that you don't know me...
We had great weather the whoel time, but it's a shame we couldn't dress to it... It's just a safety thing not to show any bare skin when you have a tendancy to shoot the flyhook into yourself or people around you... That's why you're dressed from head to toe in rubber hip waders (nothing "hip" about them) in the heat so at the end of the day you smell like an old rubber boot...
Yes, fishing is a popular sport here (anything that makes you drink a sixpack before lunch is a "sport") though I participate more as a spectator (more to drink on the river bank)... To catch a fish you must think like one and step one is to drink like one... The biggest sport is though trying to get all you gear, jackets and hipwaders off before you piss yourself after sooo many beers... Then it takes so long to put everything back on that you have to take another wizz when your done...
Yes, despite all these great things I still am not "hooked" on it (pun intended (as bad as it is))...
